ABOUT THE ROLE

An academic with general research skills (i.e. evidence synthesis, qualitative, quantitative and/or neuroscience research skills) is sought to join the team supporting students on the MSc in Clinical Mental Health Sciences and Mental Health Sciences Research at UCL’s Division of Psychiatry.
These courses have been established since 2014 and provide a broad range of options for advanced study in mental health. There are pathways appropriate both for psychiatrists and other mental health professionals wishing to undertake advanced study and for graduates in psychology wishing to further their knowledge of clinical aspects of mental health. Most of our intake of around 120 are in the latter category, many aspiring either to be clinical researchers or clinicians (especially clinical psychologists). The course is very over-subscribed, resulting in a particularly high academic standard among the academic students. Many research projects are eventually published.
